COLONIAL DAY 2008
1. All Sing: Old Colony Times Traditional Early American Song
|
In good old Colony times, when we were under the king,
Three roguish chaps fell into mishaps, because they could not sing. |
|
Because they could not sing, because they could not sing.
Three roguish chaps fell into mishaps, because they could not sing. |
|
|
|
The first he was a miller, and the second he was a weaver,
And the third he was a little tailor, three roguish chaps together. |
|
|
|
|
|
Now the miller he stole corn, and the weaver he stole yarn,
And the little tailor, he stole broadcloth to keep these three rogues warm. |

11. All Sing: New England Annoyances Traditional
New England’s annoyances that you may know them,
Pray ponder these verses which briefly doth show them.
The place where we live is a wilderness wood,
Where grass is much wanting that’s fruitful and good.
Derry down, down, hey, derry down.
 And when the nor’wester with violence blows,
Then every man pulls his cap o’er his nose.
But if any’s so foolish and will it withstand,
He forfeits a finger, a foot or a hand.
Derry down, down, hey, derry down.
While corn it is growing, much spoil there is made
By birds and by squirrels that pluck up the blade.
Even when it is grown to full corn in the ear,
It’s apt to be spoiled by raccoon, hog and deer.
Derry down, down, hey, derry down.
Our clothes we brought with us are apt to be torn.
They need to be mended before the are worn,
For patching our garments does injure us nothing.
Double patches are warmer than single whole clothing.
Derry down, down, hey, derry down.
If flesh meat be wanting to fill up our dish,
We have carrots and pumpkins and turnips and fish.
We have pumpkin at morning and pumpkin at noon.
If it were not for pumpkins, we would be undone.
Derry down, down, hey, derry down.

15. All Sing and Play: Jolly is the Miller Play Party
 Verse:
Jolly is the miller that lives by the mill,
the wheel turns around of its own free will,
With one hand in the hopper and the other in the sack,
the wheel turns around and we all turn back.
Repeat 2 times
Repeat again and end with:
Some go forward and the others turn back.
Chorus:
Raining, hailing, cold stormy weather, in comes the farmer drinkin’ up his cider, in comes the reaper, out goes the binder, I have a good friend, where shall I find them?
